The Tax & Accounting business of Thomson Reuters has announced
the release of Mobile CS, a first-of-its-kind iPhone app for tax and accounting
professionals. Using advanced mobile application technology, this comprehensive
practice management tool extends the reach of Practice CS from desktop to iPhone,
giving more than 60,000 Practice CS users the ability to access key firm, staff,
and client data anytime, anywhere. Future Mobile CS updates will include access
to additional CS Professional Suite and Enterprise Suite functions and data,
enabling tax and accounting professionals to manage their firm from home or
on the road. Development of the Mobile CS app for other mobile platforms, such
as BlackBerry and Android, is currently being considered.

“The release of Mobile CS is one of many apps in development by the Tax
& Accounting business of Thomson Reuters as part of our broader commitment
to being an end-to-end solution provider for tax and accounting professionals,”
said Teresa Mackintosh, CPA.CITP, general manager and senior vice president,
Americas - Professional, Tax & Accounting, Thomson Reuters. “This
innovative communication tool allows tax and accounting professionals to adeptly
interact with their key data in the field, after hours, or whenever it fits
their schedule. The buzz around Mobile CS has increased tremendously, because
our customers realize that being more efficient means being more profitable.
Our goals are to help our customers be more efficient, and to leverage the technology
they use every day, so they can better serve their own clients. We realize that
mobile computing and the use of devices like the iPhone are transforming how
professionals do business,” said Mackintosh.

The initial release of Mobile CS offers on-the-go Practice CS content, such
as helpful client and staff data, as well as key firm data such as WIP and AR.
Users have the ability to view important data and make smart business decisions
on the spot, review client interactions before an important meeting, check staff
availability while out of the office, view the status of a project, and much
more.

“Mobile CS is a secure option that allows our clients to access the information
they need, when they need it. Sensitive client data is not stored on the phone
itself, and doesn’t impose any security risks,” said Frank Swierz,
senior director of product development, Americas - Professional, Tax & Accounting,
Thomson Reuters.

Mobile CS is available for download from the Apple iTunes App Store free of
charge. Trial data is automatically downloaded with Mobile CS enabling any iPhone
user to try Mobile CS and become familiar with its features and navigation without
incurring any charges. Synching a firm’s Practice CS data to Mobile CS
requires licensing through Thomson Reuters.
